On Sunday, Feb. 13, the PBR Illinois staff traveled to the Bo Jackson Elite Sports Dome in Bensenville, Ill., to host the O'Hare Preseason ID - one of the largest showcases on our winter calendar. This event provided us an ample opportunity to check-in on some of the area’s high school prospects and identify several names as we prepare for the IHSA season, as well as future invite-only events on the PBR Illinois calendar.

In the week that followed this event, we produced post-event analysis that includes performance highlights inside of our Quick Hits story, a look at the traditional stats measured within our Statistical Analysis piece, batted-ball and pitch data compiled in TrackMan Files, swing metrics captured on the Blast Motion Board, and sight scores from an athletic perspective tracked on the Vizual Edge Scoreboard.

You can learn more about the state-of-the-art technologies featured at our showcases within the hyperlinks above. We began our post-event process yesterday by rolling out the day’s catchers, and followed that up with the outfield crew earlier today. Now, we’ll wrap up the position group with the event’s infielders, highlighting a few names below: 

An infielder who just missed the cut but showed some of the best raw power in attendance was CIF Patrick Carmody (Oak Park-River Forest). Carmody, listed at 6-foot, 190-pounds, registered tied for second at the event for max distance off the bat at 351’. He recorded an average exit velocity of 90.8 mph which was second at the event. He also led the event in average bat speed at 76.7 mph. 

CIF NJ Gott (Glenbrook North, 2023) was yet another physical right-handed bat that put up notable numbers offensively but just missed out on the top-10. Gott registered the fourth-best average exit velocity of the event at 87.7 mph. He also recorded an average bat speed of 70.9 mph and his furthest batted ball traveled 334’.

Another infielder on the rise after the event was senior Dylan Conklin (Kaneland) who is committed to Aurora. Conklin was on the barrel consistently during BP and showed some of the better infield actions at the event. 

Another infielder to keep an eye on that just missed out was freshman Aadden Guerrero (Lyons Township). Guerrero has a repeatable right-handed swing, staying flat and on top of the baseball. He also has above-average actions and ran a 7.32 60.

Read on below for a look at the Top-10 infielders and all of the other infielders from the day.
